GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The tentorium cerebelli (Fig. 8.32) is a horizontal projection of the meningeal dura mater that covers and separates the cerebellum in the posterior cranial fossa from the posterior parts of the cerebral hemispheres. It is attached posteriorly to the occipital bone along the grooves for the transverse sinuses.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tentorium is attached along this lie on the occipital bone, and along the edge of the petrous temporal bone. Its attachment ends at the posterior clinoid process. The upper surface of the tentorium is continuous with the dura of the floor of the middle cranial fossa.

Detailed explanation-3: -In anatomy, the supratentorial region of the brain is the area located above the tentorium cerebelli.
